He's not worth more than Pietrus will get... I'd say around 6-7, but nobody will give him 10.

Before Nene and Chris Wilcox, I might have agreed with you... but Nene was one of those big guys who proved NOTHING before getting a GIANT money deal... and, unfortunately, he's been playing like a savage ever since, which gives major incentive to teams willing to take a chance on big men with potential.

Remember Dampier

7 footers always get more money and the fact that Darko was a 2nd pick in his draft will likely get some team to give him around 10 million a year

ok, having 2 white guys again in our SL would just about give me a heart attack. lets face it, most of the time it just doesnt work. however, i have seen darko play, and i believe he does have some good skills, passing, shooting, a block now and then, and rebounding, can he run the break i dont know? darko reminds me of a murphy, without the range, but better defensively and a better passer. who knows? it might be worth looking at, at the right price. pairing him up with biedrins inside might just work.. btw is darko a restricted FA? if so why dont we just swap pietrus with darko, both underachievers, both still have a bit of potential...

well maybe but so is pietrus money different from other minds and our minds..... which makes the swap quite interesting and cool

Atlanta better realize that drafting Conley would increase their stock ten-fold, so trading him to Portland is a bad move. The Hawks need a PG; Joe Johnson's a 2 and Speedy's no starter. Draft Conley, sign a center, and contend for the 8th seed...
